Bloodmoon's Fallen Alpha
During the full-moon raid carried out by the Bloodmoon Pack, my squad accidentally strayed into a swamp thick with deadly silver mist.
I had prepared for this. I always carried a moonstone that could protect against silver poisoning.
But when I opened my leather pouch, all my fingers touched was a wishing doll woven from dried grass.
I was about to reach out to the Elder Council through the mind link.
That was when my Alpha mate, Jack Fraley, suddenly grabbed my wrist.
"Easy, sweetheart. Don't be impulsive. I gave your moonstone to Lily. She's a fragile Omega. She needs protection more than you do."
I clenched the straw doll, fury burning so hot that it nearly scorched away my reason.
"Are you kidding me? Wearing this junk is no different from standing naked in the silver mist!"
He frowned, completely unashamed. "Rowena North, you're my Luna. Protecting Omegas is your responsibility. Stop throwing a tantrum."
I let out a cold laugh.
"I'm a Luna, not a saint with no boundaries. And that moonstone was my mother's keepsake."
After that, I didn't argue with him anymore. I severed our mind link without hesitation.
Then, I turned to the Beta beside me and gave a clear order.
"Contact the Elder Council immediately. I formally invoke mate bond severance. Effective now, every pack territory and alliance bound to my name is frozen."
